Long hours, no family time.
Manager openly offers support, but doesn't give it.
Day shift has full staff and department support. Product schedule changes? Batches are made, materials brought in, people shifted. Night shift, you're on your own. Can't get approval for new batch, can't get call backs for material changes, understaffed to move people.
High turn over.
Manager fired a crew member for sitting down during line down time. Next day chewed me out for moving another employee from his trained position to cover the void.
Got chewed out for shifting crews into other positions on the line. Later got written up for NOT cross training crews.
Take charge, make a decision and get in trouble.
Ask a manager to make a decision and get in trouble for not being a supervisor.
Ordered to skip or eliminate planned down time for line equipment rebuilds. Get in trouble for missing quotas when equipment broke down.
Manager would not approve vacation time for lack of coverage, time expired, no roll over or cash in.
Hired duplicate line supervisors for day coverage but would not use them for night coverage.
Maintenance policy - equipment PMs.
Maintenance actual - run to failure. (Maintenance department not at fault...) Cudos to a very good crew of skilled mechanics and techs that work under a high level of pressure with almost impossible conditions.
Management would make a big show of meetings, committees, studies, taking complaints but then do nothing meaningful to correct.
